About me
I’m Kishore, 23 years old. Grew up in Thrissur, a town in central Kerala. Currently working at Sahyadri School- Krishnamurti Foundation India, near Pune, Maharashtra- as a teacher, after living nearly two decades of my life as a student- supposedly preparing for a life as an adult. You can contact me at kishore [dot] asok [at] gmail [dot] com
A person’s character is not static. Events mould and change us throughout the course of our lives, like a river smoothens and polishes the rocks over which it flows. Likewise, I expect this page to be dynamic, as well.
I’m a dreamer who has been obsessed with questions about the perilous path that humanity is on- where it started and where it might lead; the nature of our humanness, our relationship with the world around us etc. Towards the end of graduation I had really no idea what I wanted to do, but I was very sure that these questions were central to my life and took up teaching in the hope that it will bring me in contact with people with a similar outlook of life, and help me not to lose contact with my questions.
In a way, there’s nowhere for me to go, nothing to achieve. I like to remind myself that I’m just a living organism on this planet, seeking survival and play. The questions about life remain, questions about human society and how we have organised ourselves, questions about what it means to live intelligently in this messy world of entanglements. These questions can never go away, and will probably be with me all my life, but they don’t bother me or frustrate me any more like they used to. And it’s a privilege to be in constant contact with human beings who are growing up, some of them to whom the same questions arise as they grow aware of the world we live in.

Kishore,
I liked the sentence “Science is an honest religion, because it doesn’t claim to be anything other than a search for the truth.” I think this is a very honest and truthful opinion on science. But some people tend to glorify science as the ultimate truth, without realising that what we know today may be found to be totally false tomorrow. Having been a scientist most of my life, I love science, but am afraid of glorifying it. Once that happens, it ceases to be any different from other religions.
Wish you all success in your endeavours, and do keep writing.

Actually I borrowed that sentence from Ajith sir. I had almost lost all my interest in Science because of the rigid and rotten curriculum at college, and I was unbelievably lucky to get to work in his inspiring presence during the summer.
Thank you for dropping by, Sir!
